Risk notes
The equity exposure was already there. Splitting it adds several more layers on top.
By which side you hold#
| Risk | Detail |
|---|---|
| PT before maturity | It trades with the stock and with demand for fixed return. An early exit realises the market price, not the settlement value. |
| YT and dividend policy | A cut or cancelled dividend removes YT’s only source of value, multiplied by its leverage. |
| Corporate actions | Splits, spin-offs and delistings adjust or settle markets early, per the issuer’s adjustment rules. |
| Liquidity | Thin books widen the gap between the price on screen and the price a large order actually gets. |
| Leverage | Loops multiply a rate spread; YT is leverage by construction. Both cut in both directions. |
| Chain and contracts | Positions live in contracts on Robinhood Chain and inherit its operational risk. |
The one that catches people#
Fixed means fixed at maturity. It is not a floor on PT’s price between now and then, and it says nothing about what an early exit will return. Almost every unpleasant surprise available here comes from needing to close a position before its date.
